Whats the best way to read the market

[Vladimir Gale]

I love to learn and have been utilizing different tools to do my real estate research. I would like to know what analytical tools have any of you utilized to track the market?

There is no tool or app or program to predict where the real estate market is going to go. I have a subscription to The Houston Business Journal. I read it every week and it keeps me apprised on where business is going in Houston. It lets me know what areas are building what areas have slowed, what companies are laying off and how the real estate market is fairing. I read as much as I can about all aspects of Houston because it gives me an overall view of what's going on and how that market is affected by those happenings.
